Architecture 222 & 410/510/610

Course Policies

Overview

This handout lists some key policies of the courses Architecture 222 with 410/510/610, Fall 1996.

Policies

It is assumed that all students will attend all lectures. Crucial material is presented during lectures, including both course content and processes, which may not be available from any other source.
If a student is forced to miss a lecture, it is his or her responsibility to get sufficient notes from other students to fill in the missing material.
Students are expected to take extensive notes, as necessary for their own learning processes, to help retain and refer to material presented in lecture.
There is a Footnotes service available for this course.
Each assignment in the course has a stated number of points. Grades will be based primarily on the quantity of work, using a weighted curve of the total number of points achieved, with some fine adjustments made for effort and attitude.
It is essential to keep up with the pace of assignments. Work on time will get 100% of points awarded on the basis of quality. Work up to one week late will lose 20% of points awarded for quality. Work more than one week late will not be accepted except for good cause approved in advance or for medical reasons.
Credit will ONLY be granted for actual work which is received by the teaching team in the right server or physical location in good working order.
It should be understood that an integral part of the content of the course is to learn to follow safe data backup procedures. Things do go wrong -- backups are what prevent disasters, and they are the individual responsibility of each student at all times. "The computer ate my homework" is not and cannot be an acceptable excuse in this course.
Refer to the Schedule of Classes and the annual University Bulletin for the overall definitions of grading standards, appropriate academic conduct, etc. These will be followed carefully. Incompletes will only be granted with advance request and for good cause.
Plagiarism is an extremely serious academic offense which maybe facilitated in digital media. Any instance in which work is suspected of not being a student's own doing as prescribed by the assignment will be investigated. Each student should save draft and intermediate files and working notes, etc. in case these are necessary to determine the origin of a given project.
The guiding principle for policy judgements during the course will be maximum overall fairness to all the students of the course, as interpreted by the professor.
